AIRF RCE October 5, 2017 Personnel 19 Brainstorming the future Aurora Daniels DEFENCE is holding its first Force Design conference to gather ideas from around Australia and the globe on designing the future force. Decision-makers, practitioners, innovators, military partners, and researchers from Defence, industry, academia, and government agencies will join forces in Canberra from October 10-11 to discuss how we design and deliver a joint ADF that is capable, potent and agile. Head Force Design AVM Mel Hupfeld said the division, established last year under the changes from the First Principals Review, was transforming the way Defence undertook force design, making the force structure review a business-as-usual process. “Force Design is one of the big changes resulting from the FPR. It will provide Defence with an enduring capacity to review itself, to make sure we have the right mix of capability to do what we need to do today and in the future,” AVM Hupfeld said. “We need to answer questions such as: What does the ADF need today, tomorrow and well into the future? How can we maximise innovation and technology to give us an edge? How do we continue to deliver an ADF fit for purpose for today’s operations while also designing an ADF that can not only fight, but win, in future operations?” Force Design Division is seeking to create a collaborative environment to ensuring that current and future Air Force, Army and Navy capabilities are balanced and interoperable to provide the best ADF capability within the resources allocated by the Australian government.” AVM Hupfeld said the Force Design Division was inviting leaders in the fields of innovation, research and Defence to descend on Canberra in October to provide their ideas on areas such as collaboration, experimentation, wargaming, innovation, and options development to help defence deliver a joint force by design. “I’d like to enlist your collective F-35A Joint Strike Fighters A35-001 (closest) and A35-002 during the first trans-Pacific flight from Luke Air Force Base, US to RAAF Base Amberley. with industry, academia, and other stakeholders to promote creative thinking and to explore force options opportunities. “It is about focusing on how to col- laborate in order to assess, design and prioritise capability and force structure options, rather than specific solutions,” he said. AVM Hupfeld said prioritisation was critical so the ADF could live within the budget, but still achieve the best fit in terms of capability and resources available. “It’s about frank and fearless advice, the understanding of options, benefits, trade-offs and implications,” AVM Hupfeld said. DCAF AVM Gavin Turnbull said Air Force’s future success depended wisdom to help the ongoing professionalisation of our workforce and evolve the world-class tools, techniques and methodologies we need on our journey so that every soldier, sailor and airman and airwoman have access to the best capability systems solutions at the right time in the right location,” AVM Hupfeld said. The ADF has to be able to provide Photo: SGT Shane Gidall on being a valued and effective part of a much more joint ADF, and of ‘One Defence’ more broadly. “Air Force cannot realise its full potential without the assistance of the other Services and Groups, just as Navy and Army cannot be fully effective without Air Force’s support,” DCAF said. “Effective Force Design is critical a clear, coherent, relatable and consistent capability narrative to both the public and Government “This narrative must begin inter- nally, and be contested by the likes of yourselves, before we begin our engagement with other external stakeholders, including central agencies, industry and academia,” he said.
